Inside a temple hall, a bare-chested seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a large multicolour flower garland and gold armlets receives a folded orange cloth from a man in white kurta and glasses who bows forward. Behind them stand a standing woman in a red-orange sari, a woman in white with an orange shawl, and other attendees in white. Gold and brass lamps, a trident, a kalasha-style gold vessel and a deity murti with floral decoration fill the background; a red carpet covers the floor. A man with a beard and rudraksha mala sits at right.
